Todd Howard took to the Bethesda E3 2018 press conference stage to offer a new look at Fallout 76 — including a look at gameplay — and reveal gameplay details. But most notably, Howard confirmed that Fallout 76 will be “entirely online.” The release date for Fallout 76 will be November 14, though there will be a beta opened earlier that will require pre-order for entry at a date to be announced.
“We have always wanted to tell that story of you and the other
who were first to leave the Vault: it’s that each of those characters is a real person, because yes, Fallout 76 is entirely online,” he said, adding that, “Of course you can play this solo.”
